New SafeDisc 2 protection researched

The guys of CDmate have now also discovered our forum and posted the following information regarding a new SafeDisc 2 protection that appears to be new in Taiwan:


There is an new version (improved) of SD2 proteced game in Taiwan now, it's specially protected by using a special algorism. Future games/titles using this type of protection will not be playable except copied by a RAW-96 compatible writer and played on a RAW-96 writer as well.

Such game is not suggested to play on a recorder, it "Will" damage your recorder eventually. At moment we suggest users to play the game using Fantom CD first.

Copystar is investgating this type of protection at moment.

If not playable then how are we going to play it with the orginal CD? What's bugging me is that how are we going to know that the protection won't destroy your CDROM drives?

WookieQuote: "Such game is not suggested to play on a recorder" They mean the original? That's probably a way to let us think that it's dangerous to play it from a writer. If a cd can damage a write, then they'll probably will have some lawsuits on their neck pretty soon!

Will the Plex 24X still be able to handle it OK? Will it still make copies that can be played on all CD-ROM drives?

I am not buying the don't play this in a writer either. That is ridiculous to think it can damage it.
